did you notice that in one of the data fields that was supposed to accept a URL to an background image, they put in something like:

still testing'data2=

Perhaps it was a SQL injection attack? Maybe some string of characters (SQL commands?) followed the '=' sign? Not sure how that stuff works to be
honest. They probably weren't sure if it would work, then freaked out when they realized it did. They didn't put anything in the profiles that
suggests they were trying to be malicious. Perhaps just a some newbie hacker? If so, I would be surprised that nobody had done that before now, if
that was a security flaw.

To be quite honest I think the "Just Testing" thing is a big indicator of the intention of the hacker to scout for weaknesses (which he found by
messing with everyone's Members profile) then launch an all-out attack at a later date.
